Driver side?

Yep. I was working on it at a local friend's shop. I decided to call it a day after 3-4 hours of banging fingers, cutting forearms, and breaking 2 Snap-On ratchets and a swivel extender.

It took me about 3 hours just to get both headers off. Putting them back on took 30 minutes LOL. I just need to tighten everything down tomorrow.

It's also taking me long because I'm installing my CAI and Setrab cooler at the same time, otherwise I would've been done.

Side note to everyone if you want to retain all your stock header hardware- instead of taking off the driver's side manifold shield from the beginning (per the instructions), just remove the bolts and leave it there. Once you disconnect the steering joint, it will fit in that area but you still wont be able to completely remove it without bending stuff. You can remove it unscathed after the driver's side header is removed.

I've heard two things-

1) Supposedly it's colored from the assembly line as a reminder of which bolts need to be torqued

2) It's an indicator of whether a bolt has been tampered or not for warranty reasons.

nice! mine ship tomorrow, so i think I'm gonna jack the car up this week and try and get the stock ones off before they arrive. looks like that's definitely the most time consuming part, yes?

Yessir. The driver's side to be exact. Make sure you disconnect the battery and mark the position of the steering linkage before you remove it. That's pretty much the only thing you need to remove besides the air intakes.

I hope tony has some sort of magic helping force because its a shame I wont get it before the 9th of next month since I wil be taking part in a "race" setup by my dealer between GT-Rs,370s,lambos,ferraris and so on.

It will be delicious

also it will be in francorchamps

I think it is number 1 (maybe a little of number 2 but more 1).
It seems a lot of the bolts are color matched, I have found orange, blue, yellow, I think red at one point.

You are going to have one helluva time getting those bolts off unless you have the car on a lift.
